HC Deb 23 January 2001 vol 361 c554W
Miss McIntosh

To ask the Secretary to State for Education and Employment what representations he has received on the AS level examination, and on its implications for university admissions; and if he will make a statement. [146238]

Mr. Wicks

One representation has been received since September. We introduced the AS level qualification as part of the "Qualifying for Success" reforms. The reforms have generally been welcomed by HEI institutions. This is the first year of the reforms and we have been impressed by the response of schools, colleges, and students to them.

Miss McIntosh
